Birthday Mug

Hi everyone, welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!

Today's share is of yet another punch art card.  I told you lately I have been obsessed with them and I wasn't kidding:)  This card is a Masculine Punch Art showcasing a beer mug!  Isn't it adorable.... or I guess not adorable since it is a "masculine" card.. isn't it "manly", lol:)

The card itself measures average size of 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and then you would just make your mug the size that you wanted:)  I have a complete list of the items that I used below.

Don't forget, today marks the day that SU! will no longer be ordering stamp sets that are on the retiring list, so if there is a set that you still want, you may want to order it now being that it is only while supplies last.  You still have 2 weeks to place your order of all retiring products.  The greeting that I used on today card is called Sassy Salutations, a set that is sadly on the retiring list:(

Tiled Birthday

Hi there friends!!! Welcome!!!

Today's share is of a Tile Card using the Hexagon Punch and the coordinating stamp set, Six Sided Sampler.  This set is on the retiring list with Stampin' Up!.  All stamps as of May 22nd are only while supplies last so don't wait to get yours today:)

I added Crystal Effects (also on the retiring list) to the entire "tile" portion of the card to make it look more like actual tile.

I tried to take the best picture I could to show you the shine:)  The greeting is from Age Awareness, another one that is on the retiring list... it seems that there are so many favorites leaving but don't worry, the new catalog will not disappoint... it is FABULOUS!!!

Milk Carton Treat Box Video

Hi stampers!  Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin' and today's Friday Video

Today's Friday Video is of the thank you gifts that I am making for my gals that are coming to an upcoming Stamp Camp that I am hosting.  They are going to be filled with all kinds of goodies for when they arrive and settle into their seats.

This carton at first may seem a little complicated to make (especially the lid) but once you make it once you are going to be able to fly through them.

Sorry, the picture above is a little blurry, but I wanted to at least show you a picture with the lid off.

Masculine - Grew Up Loved

Hi there all! Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!

Today I'm sharing a Masculine card that is part of Sara's Simple Shares.  This is a very simple card that you can make for that special man figure (this case I had my father in mind).

It is an average size card measuring 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and is in Crumb Cake card stock.  I have one layering piece, that is in the same color that measures 4" x 5 1/4".  I then took my Crumb Cake ink and stamped a tone-on-tone image using the Wonderland stamp set.  I did stamp off first on a piece of scrap paper so that it wouldn't be so bold.  The greeting... I just love this greeting and think it is so great, is from the set Suite Sayings.  This is stamped in Soft Suede ink:)  Then to add the finishing touch I wrapped some twine around the side.

Simple Note For You

Hey there everyone.  A quick post today showcasing a Sara's Simple Share.

The card today is using a piece of DSP that is from the new Pop Of Pink DSP... This so far is my new favorite DSP. I just love all the designs and colors in it.  I chose the black and white strips because I thought it looked so nice with the Mint Macaron (another one of my favorite colors)

The card is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  The first layering piece is 1/8" shorter all the way around.  Then the second Mint Macaron piece is cut at 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" with the DSP measuring 4 1/4" x 3".  Then for my greeting I cut a piece of Whisper White at 3/4" x 2 7/16" and backed it again with the Mint Macaron at 1" x 2 7/16"

The greeting too is from the brand new stamp set Love and Affection!! It's a great set!!  Think you may want to get your hands on some of the pre-order items before they are all available in the annual catalog?  Well right now SU! is offering that if you sign up to become a Demo you can choose from the Preorder list as items to be included in your starter kit:)  WOW!!!!

Mothers Day Sneak Peek

Hello stampers.  Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!!

So I am super excited for today's post because this is the first Sneak Peek card that I get to share with you!! The wonderful UPS man showed up the other day and just made my day.  I instantly started playing with me new goodies:)  However with this being a sneak peek my supply list is going to be quite short, lol:)

This card that I am sharing today is the Mother's Day card that I made for my amazing Momma!!!  I used nothing by the new 2016-18 In-Colors and I have to say WOW!!! These colors are amazing!!!  They are all so fresh looking and they all coordinate really well together.  

The new In-Colors are:
* Dapper Denim
*Flirty Flamingo
* Sweet Sugarplum
*Emerald Envy
* Peekaboo Peach

Believe it or not the DSP is actually homemade DSP that I made using a new stamp set called Love and Affection.  It's amazing.  I love how you can build up the flowers:)  That is also where the greeting comes from.  Which when I saw this greeting I instantly thought of my Momma!!!  I stamped the image and then cut it out using the new Sweet and Sassy Heart Framelits!! OMG, the new framelits are amazing!!!

Now, right now Stampin' Up! is doing something that they have NEVER done before... which is right now if you become a SU! Demo, you can order items from the Pre-Order list as part of your Demo Kit!! Oh my goodness!!!!!

Want to know more?  Click on the picture above to find out how:)

The card measures average size of 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2".  I didn't want a lot of extras on the card because I wanted the Lion to be the main vocal piece, so I just embellished with a couple balloons and of course the number 1.

Tractor Punch Art

Hello all!! So sorry that I was MIA yesterday, I was busy creating and just didn't get a chance to post:(  Today's card share is of a Tractor Punch Art card that I was asked to make for one of my co-workers grandsons.  She actually has 2 grandsons with almost the same birthday so the second card that I made for her will be shown tomorrow. 

I was told that he liked tractors, so with a little inspiration from Pinterest and my own flair I came up with this.  This card took a ton of punches which I love to use punches. Punch Art cards are one of my favorites to make!!!

Now, being that this card takes a lot of supplies, my craft desk was a bit messy...

But it's like that saying with the kitchen that I have heard... the bigger the mess the better the meal... well I like to think the bigger the mess the more creativity:)  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

And... I'm so excited because today was the first day of Pre-Orders for SU! Demos!!! I can't wait to get all my supplies and be able to show you all some sneak peek's!!  Think that you may like to be a SU! demo as well... have some questions, click HERE to be taken to my page to see what you can earn and how you can sign up!!! I would love to have you on my team!!

May Thank You's

Hi stampers! Thanks for peeking in today at Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!!

Today I wanted to share with you my May Thank You's.  I chose to use the technique color block (or that is what I call it), where you place ink using your Stampin' Write Markers, today I used Wild Wasabi, Perfect Plum and Island Indigo, directly on your clear block, spritz a bit of water on it and then place it directly on your paper.  I love this technique and the way that it creates it's own background.  

My card this month measures 4" x 4".  Another great thing about doing this technique is that you don't ever get the same background twice, they are always different.

For one of my cards shown above I spritzed the block more than once, filling it with water.  This caused the ink to fun and blend together more.  The second time I spritzed the block only once, barely wetting it, this allowed for the colors to stay in place and be  bit more brighter.  These two were also using just Whisper White card stock.  The third card show above I used the Watercolor card stock, spritzed my block just one and placed it on the paper.  With the Watercolor paper it left it more spotty... not getting great coverage, however this is my favorite one of the 3.

I think it just has a ton of character and is beautiful!!  I then took a solid image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set and then a greeting from the Petite Pairs set (a set that is on the retiring list, that I am super sad about).  I love how they are pretty and simple:)  That's why they are listed under Sara's Simple Shares:)
